Facing Yu Yaoqing's chessboard, Yi Tian only glanced at it and then stepped into the chessboard helplessly to start breaking it. This chessboard covered an area of only a little more than ten feet. Each chess piece was a statue that was as tall as a person. They stood there lifelike, as if they were real people.
However, the moment Yi Tian stepped onto the chessboard, the ground began to tremble slightly. Then, a whirlwind began to blow in all directions, enveloping the chessboard. Yi Tian was unable to open his eyes due to this sudden whirlwind. He could only circulate his energy to form a protective barrier around himself.
After ten breaths, when the whirlwind slowly stopped, Yi Tian slowly opened his eyes. He found himself in a military camp fortress at the edge of the battlefield. In front of him, there were soldiers and horses everywhere. Both sides were fighting in front of the formation and the battle was in a stalemate.
He lowered his head and looked at himself. He was wearing a red military uniform with a helmet on his head. He was holding a secret report in his hand. There were more than ten people with similar appearances standing together. However, both of them were wearing masks.
In front of him, there was a burly man with a dark face who was deliberately stroking his beard. He was wearing a ghost mask on his face. At the top of the mask, the word 'Handsome' could be clearly seen.
There was a row of generals standing around. All of them were wearing red armor. Other than their different body shapes, the word 'Format' was marked at the top of their masks. Yi Tian looked at the 'Official Chariots, Horses, and Cannons'. He then took off the helmet on his head. There was only the word 'Soldier' written on it.
Needless to say, this must be the power of the formation and he was trapped in the chessboard. However, this time, it seemed like he was role-playing. He just did not know what kind of mission he had to complete.
After listening to the general in the military camp discussing with the people beside him in a low voice, he turned his gaze to Yi Tian and the others and said, "The front army of Li Huo has lost contact with the main force for several days. This time, we will send a few groups of scouts to contact the front army to pass on the military information. After receiving the secret order, remember to take a detour through the opponent's blockade area and send the order to the front army's commander-in-chief, Yu Yaoqing."
Hearing this, Yi Tian's face was filled with disdain. It seemed that this Martial Granduncle really thought of himself as the commander-in-chief of the front army. He didn't even avoid mentioning his name.
After putting away the secret order in his hand, Yi Tian turned around and followed the group of scouts out of the barracks. After that, the others spread out in all directions and went around the edge of the battlefield.
Yi Tian glanced at the warhorses the scouts were riding. They looked real, but they lacked the intelligence of living creatures. Needless to say, these were all puppet horses made by Yu Yaoqing.
To be honest, he didn't have the ability to gallop on the battlefield like these puppets. After trying to circulate his Qi, Yi Tian's face revealed a trace of anger. This Martial Granduncle had actually restricted the use of magic in the formation.
It was abnormally difficult to circulate the qi in his body, and the magic he could use was also restricted. After trying a few times, he couldn't even use the simplest fireball technique. It only had the power of a late stage refiner.
It was a good thing that he had cultivated the appropriate Body Tempering Technique, which could be of great use in such an environment. After checking, he discovered that the Buddhist Sect's Golden Sun Corona Secret Technique could still be used. After that, he summoned the Scarlet Flame Stallion and briefly explained his situation to it.
A moment later, after explaining the mission's objective, Yi Tian turned around and jumped on the Scarlet Flame Colt's back. He said, "Let's go. Avoid the obstruction of these formations and rush to the front army's camp as soon as possible." After hearing this, the Scarlet Flame Colt raised its head and neighed a few times before rushing forward.
Riding a rank six spirit pet was indeed extraordinary. Adding on the third form of Cloudsky Defense, it was equivalent to the Scarlet Flame Colt wearing a set of battle armor. Like this, the Scarlet Flame Colt rampaged through the battlefield as if there was no one there.
But soon, Yi Tian began to frown. Many of the puppet generals and soldiers on the formation plate seemed to have discovered the sudden arrival of uninvited guests. Soon after, a loud bugle sounded and a black mass of people rushed toward his location.
Even if the Scarlet Flame Colt was a rank six spirit beast, no matter how strong it was, Yi Tian was still very clear on the principle that many ants could bite an elephant to death. Taking advantage of the fact that the black side army hadn't surrounded him yet, he used his leg to squeeze the horse's stomach and pulled the reins in his hand. He directly turned around and hastily fled.
A moment later, Yi Tian retreated from the battlefield and found an open space to rest. He estimated that if he wanted to complete the mission, it wouldn't be possible to just force his way through. However, if he wanted to break the formation, he would have to deliver the order to Yu Yaoqing. Thus, he had to pass this hurdle.
Raising his head to look at the black mass of puppet soldiers in the distance, Yi Tian revealed a trace of disdain. At the same time, he carefully examined the path he should take.
It was clear that the black side's puppet army was controlled by the formation. They would only block the scout's advance in certain areas. Once he ran out of those areas, the black side would withdraw their troops and defend those areas once more.
Although he was somewhat familiar with magic arrays, this time, he had clearly stepped into a chess array set up by Yu Yaoqing. Unlike in the past, it would be very difficult to find the core of the array and break the array. Thus, it would be best for him to follow the line of thought of the one who set up the array.
After thinking about it, he said to the Scarlet Flame Colt, "Let's go around and take a look. In this chess formation, all techniques are restricted. We can only rely on body techniques to break through."
The Scarlet Flame Stallion only snorted twice before impatiently replying, "You really are getting more and more afraid of trouble as you get older. However, you are the master, so you can do whatever you want." After speaking, the Scarlet Flame Stallion quickly followed Yi Tian's finger.
Not long after, the two of them bypassed the battlefield space controlled by the Black Side Army and entered a valley from the edge of the area.
This valley was between two steep mountains. It was only a hundred feet wide, but one couldn't see the end of it. The mountain path was rugged and uneven. At the same time, it also limited Yi Tian's speed.
Riding on horseback for a short while, after making a few turns in the valley, a tragic scene immediately came into view. Upon closer inspection, there were a dozen or so Red Team soldiers that had been destroyed in the distance. What made Yi Tian the most unhappy was that these soldiers were dressed like scouts just like him. They even had secret scrolls tied to their waists.
"Beep!" After the arrow flew into the air, it suddenly exploded. A group of soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides of the mountain. Looking at their black armor and the black bows in their hands, it was clear that they were the black side's ambushers.
Yi Tian's first reaction was that he had been ambushed. The best strategy was to immediately retreat and find a way out. However, when he used his spiritual sense to check behind him, he found that the path behind him had been cut off. It was clear that this was the main path. Moreover, according to the formation's instructions, he had to force his way through.
At this moment, if he stayed in the same place for even a moment, his chances of success would decrease. Compared to facing thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, this place could be considered a better choice. Clenching his teeth, Yi Tian patted the Scarlet Flame Colt and once again rushed toward the valley.
